SNAplus2 administration commands are accessible through the snapadmin program. The snapadmin program is a command-line administration program that
can be used to configure and manage the SNAplus2 node. More information
on how to configure and manage the SNAplus2 node is provided in
the SNAplus2 Administration Guide.
This book describes how to use the snapadmin program and the commands that you can issue through snapadmin. Administration commands are used for configuring, checking
status of, and managing resources. Most administration commands
belong to one of these categories as follows:
- Configuring
The following types of commands are used to configure resources:
- define_*
Creates a new define_* record in the configuration file, or replaces a record
for the same resource with the new definition.
- delete_*
Removes the corresponding define_* record from the file.
- Checking status
The following types of commands are used to check
the configuration and status of resources:
- query_*
Returns information from the configuration file
on the appropriate resource, but does not modify the file.
- status_*
Provides summary information about the state of resources.
- Managing
The following types of commands are used to manage resources:
- start_*, init_*, or activate_*
Explicitly starts a configured resource. Some resources can
be activated implicitly as a result of activating other resources.
- stop_*, term_*, or deactivate_*
Explicitly stops a resource. Some resources can
be stopped implicitly (for example, as a result of a period of inactivity).
- set_*
